I checked "had other negative feelings..." because, this may seem WAYYYY out in left field, BUT
I feel guilty because we experienced the miracle of adoption and in doing so, received SO much support and blessings and great friendships that don't often come with a regular ol' "normal" birth. (I say that tongue-in-cheek and am not dismissing the fact that not all births are "normal" - you get my drift...)
I often tell my friends who haven't adopted and have biological children, that I am the fortunate one!
There aren't a lot of built-in support systems like the ones that are offered to adoptive parents.
As the result of adopting, we have met so many wonderful people and have experienced so many things that we NEVER would have been able to if we would have given birth to our children. One of those things being THIS forum!!
So - there is some guilt associated with that because
ADOPTION IS SO COOL!!!!!

OK, its late and I am getting a little nutty...I hope this post makes sense because I am having a hard time explaining myself!!
Good night!
